Fiber Friday: 1.26.18

Friday, that day of the week that puts an automatic grin on everyone’s face! And, the sun is shining brightly here with temps that are supposed to get into the 50’s! Steve doesn’t know this (Hi Sweetie!) but I am going to make him go take a walk this afternoon at Boyce Mayview!

On the knitting front, I did manage to get to the colorwork section of Stopover yesterday, but it is not finished…Maybe today, but more likely this weekend, which will give me 3 FO’s for January and my first completed project for my #makenine2018. So, this year is absolutely off to a great start!

I crocheted slipper number one together and I am not quite certain I like how it looks. I will rip it out and try an i-cord join and see if that looks better. I want to get them finished, and have cast on for slipper number two, but have not finished it yet.

My February knitting looks to be just as good as January! I have plans to start Strokkur on the first for Berroco’s Lopi-Along. I need to swatch so I am ready to go! And, I will be mystery sock knitting with Kirsten.

Now, how about some links?

There were some really fun mitten patterns this week: Want to Lopi-Along but a sweater seems daunting? Then perhaps Kate Attherly has the answer for you in her Oh, Canada Mittens and Moose Mittens (And, they are free patterns!!)

I was so excited enough about the sun and warmth this morning that I took a walk, might take another walk this afternoon, and got the grill out for hamburgers for dinner! I hope you have an enjoyable walk, some fun Stopover knitting, and a great weekend!

It hit 50 here, today, and it felt like summer. It’s only for one day, though. Winter returns tomorrow.
I am in love with the Cooler Side of Warm and may have to track down that yarn. Woolfolk is truly amazing stuff!

I just ordered the Sunday Morning kit from Sunday Knits. (Her designs and yarns are just gorgeous!) It is my dream-sweater — the kind I will wear every single day! (This is why I’d never be able to commit to that make-nine challenge. Because there is always something new and shiny out there!!!) As always, thanks for the links. 🙂

oh my what a pretty prop for the knitting – and mind you I mean the wooden bowl and NOT the frosted grass! I loved the new plucky collection. all the pieces. but have filed it away for next fall. I’m thinking about spring knitting here 🙂
